Unemployment Benefits: Should There Be a Compulsory Federal Standard?

By Joseph M. Becker

An essential deep-dive into the federalism debate at the heart of America's social safety net, where labor economist Joseph M. Becker tackles the contentious question of a compulsory federal standard for state unemployment insurance benefits, weighing federal labor laws against state autonomy in a study that remains indispensable for anyone examining unemployment compensation policy and the future of federalism in labor law.

The substance of the federal form of government is largely determined by the degree of independence accorded the individual states. This study examines one proposal to increase federal standard on state unemployment insurance benefits.
